Music for an Abbey

The chorus will travel to Mount Angel Abbey to perform special “Music for an Abbey” on May 4 at 3:00 p.m. and May 18 at 3:00 p.m. For these concerts the Master Chorus will present three different compositions based on the Marian text “Magnificat" (My Soul Magnifies the Lord). The first from the Monteverdi "Vespers" in Latin, will be performed with strings, organ, recorders and sackbuts (early version of the trombone). The second is a cantata by Georg Philip Telemann in German “Meine Seele erhebt den Herrn” with strings, organ and oboes. The third setting in English is by composer, Charles Stanford with organ. Other works will include compositions by living composers Arvo Part and Eric Whitacre.
